Hello Scotty, I saw your video changing the steering wheel fluid on your matrix in which you drained it from the reservoir, added new fluid, drove the car a bit, drained again, added new fluid, drove it and did the process till get most of the old fluid out. I liked your way. Can I do the same procedure on my 2020 4Runner Sr5, automatic with 51k miles?
thank you for your help!
It's called power steering fluid, and the method works on any vehicle with hydraulic steering.
But you do NOT need to do with with a 3 year old vehicle and only 50k.
Thank you for the correction and the response. At how many miles should I do it? I thought of changing it because the fluid looks dark. Is that how is supposed to look? Thank you again.
Wanna know something? ... I have never, ever replaced power steering fluid in my life ... and I've never had a steering issue.
The fluid's primary function is to transmit hydraulic pressure, and it'll do that for a long, long time.
But if you want to be safe, change it roughly the same time as brake fluid: 150k.
Thank you
